And plagiarism isn't illegal either. Your COLLEGE might levy punishments for breaking THEIR "anti-plagiarism" rules....but it's not a law for general society.
Politicians get dinged for plagiarism all the time....but it's a criticism not a crime.

You wrote changing both title and author.
Authors (and reporters) get professionally dinged for plagiarism.
Not all violations of laws are crimes, some are civil. In fact, some copyright infringement is civil, not criminal.
